Southern Ground Testing offer a varied service of diamond coring. Our
tracked sampling rigs carry a coring attachment as standard to allow the
penetration on hard standing of up to one meter in thickness.
Hand held window sampling is a technique where soil sample tubes are
driven into the ground using the vibrating action of a jackhammer. The
sample tubes are withdrawn using hand operated jacks.
Southern Ground Testing carry out California Bearing Tests (CBR's),
plate loading tests, and in situ density determinations by sand or water
replacement methods.
With the increased cost of disposing of contaminated soils Southern
ground Testing are frequently called on the carry out in situ
remediation of soils.
The wheeled sampling and profiling rigs are primarily used for dynamic
probing, an application where a continuous density profile of the soil
is obtained.
